Recently a new selection style has been implemented that shows a bounding box instead of highlighting an object:With the latest update whenever a Job or one of the ops is selected I get a wire frame bounding box. Anybody know how to get rid of that it's quite irritating.
Not sure, but I guess this is done with this PR:Also the arrows seem to always point CW, regardless of which way the path actually points.
I can add a selection style of None to disable the ViewProviderPath selection behavior, which was the old behavior. And I can add the default selection style setting to Path preference window. Will that be okay for you?mlampert wrote:With the latest update whenever a Job or one of the ops is selected I get a wire frame bounding box.

Given that the default for all of FC is the old behaviour I think that would be great - and adding a setting to the preferences would be awesome (although I'm wondering if it should be in Path preferences. Given that this is a global feature maybe it should go into "Display" and Path should use whatever is the global preference).realthunder wrote:I can add a selection style of None to disable the ViewProviderPath selection behavior, which was the old behavior.

Attached (with the problem the other way around). The arrow stays on ccw regardless of which Contour actually goes. In fact, the arrow points into the direction when the Dressup was created.For the arrow problem, could you please attach a file demonstrate the problem?
First of all, before I patched ViewProviderPath, it has no selection support. I think maybe the selection support got disrupted when FC upgraded its inventor selection mechanism. The default selection style for all other objects in FC are still kept the same as before. I only defaults the bounding box style to Path, because if not, then a selection of any individual Path (or the whole Path), will make it green, which obscure the rapid move. That is why I think this setting should go into Path.

That is because previously a Path object cannot be selected in the 3D view, at least not in Linux I tried. It can in Windows? When I enabled preselect support in Path, which shows GCode and the arrow, it also enabled selection as a side effect. Like all other objects in FC, when an object or its subelement is selected, it becomes green. The same color of Path normal move.GeneFC wrote:I am puzzled about what issues the new bounding box was supposed to solve. I have never had any problem seeing the rapid paths. They have always shown up very plainly even with the underlying object selected.
I understand. So for the Path preference, which style you prefer to be the default? The 'Shape' (enables selection, but may obscure rapid), or 'None' (same as old behavior).mlampert wrote:There are really 2 problems with the bounding box, one is that it behaves differently than anything else in FC. The old behaviour was preferable because it didn't get in the way. Not being able to select something is a deficiency and should get fixed, having a bounding box pop up is confusing and disturbs the look and feel, it feels wrong/weird/.... it should be the same for all, same with colours, icons, ....
The second problem is that the bounding box looks like a path itself. Selection obscuring the fast path I have no problem with, but having some additional paths in my model I can't figure out where they came from is a problem - that's how it looks like.
OK, it must be a Linux vs. Windows thing. The only difference I see when selecting from the 3D view is that the little arrow shows up in the new version (0.17.10647_x64_dev_win). In version 0.17.10276_x64_dev_win from about a month ago the selection is exactly the same, but without the arrow.realthunder wrote:That is because previously a Path object cannot be selected in the 3D view, at least not in Linux I tried.
